In this video, I explain what type of batteries you should be using for your solar panel system. I will go over 4 different types of batteries: sealed lead acid (car batteries), flooded lead acid, lithium ion, and deep cycle. Each of these can be used in a battery bank but some are not practical as of yet for the average homeowner.
**Please note there are now some lithium charge controllers available on the market but as of this video there were not other than custom programmed, use-at-your-own-risk models**

shows how to hook up solar panels (with a battery bank). simple instructions. home solar power station. very easy to put together. all you need is 1 or more batteries, an inverter, charge controller and a solar panel or panels. the following is for a 12 volt system. use one 'deep cycle' battery for every 2 to 6 amps your panels generate. (batteries like to be charged at this rate). a 12 volt 1 amp panel generates about 15 watts. you can use any solar panels. if you can't get the smaller panels then buy one larger one. (Kyocera sells an inexpensive 7-8 amp solar panel (135 watter)). that would go perfect with 2 deep cycle batteries. the six panels in the video are from harbor freight tools. i bought 2 three panel sets. they sell the panels in sets of three or individually. coleman sells similar panels. the batteries are from walmart. they are 'deep cycle' batteries. the charge controller is from fry's electronics. the inverter is from harbor freight tools. this system will provide all the 'free' power you will need to run tons of things around your house. i've posted 6 videos showing all sorts of things running on this system (computers, tvs, stereos, lights, power tools, appliances, and more). all can be found on my youtube channel homepage. great little system to start with. try 'powering up' one room in your house. you now have a solar assisted house. as one example; this could easily run a light, laptop computer, fan and small tv for several hours every day. also great in an emergency, power outage, remote and rural off-grid living.

In this video the best battery for Solar PV systems is explored. There are a wide variety of batteries in the market, each suited for a particular application.
For solar PV systems mostly car cranking battery is used which is the worst possible choice for that application. In the developing world truck batteries are used for higher storage capacity which again is a poor option.
Another battery that is making waves is the saltwater battery which is also examined in this video.

now we know how much load we will have on a typical day being drawn from our solar batteries its time to determine how large of a battery bank we need. the loads are measured in watts while the batteries are measured in amp hours. once you determine if you will go with a 12v or 24v or even a 48v battery bank system its time to figure out how many amps you will need.
match the watts use in a day with the watts in your solar panels however you must consider storms, seasons, bad solar days so having more solar is good.

The 3 Best Batteries For An Off-Grid EnergySystem
So now that we know we want a lead acid battery, that's flooded (FLA), and also has deep cycle properties ...Lithium-Ion Batteries For Off-Grid Systems | Home Power Magazine.
Here are our 3 favorite batteries for an off-grid system's battery bank:
1) GolfCart Batteries
Golf cart batteries are the most widely manufactured batteries on this list.
They also work great in an alternative energy system application. So it's no surprise that they're one of the most commonly used batteries in battery banks for renewable energy systems.
Even though the five to six year life span of golf cart batteries may seem relatively short, golf cart batteries more than make up for their deficiency in this area by being extremely durable and cheap (you can also use these 7 tips to extend the life of golf cart batteries).
In addition, golf cart batteries can also be found almost anywhere, making them a great choice for battery banks.
If you really want to build a high quality but inexpensive battery bank one of the best options is to:
Get old or "dead" batteries from golf courses or golf cart shops for free ...or dirt cheap (just call them and ask if you can have their old batteries probably lying around and cluttering their shop)
Then recondition those batteries to like-new condition with the EZ Battery Reconditioning program
Use those reconditioned batteries in your battery bank
2) Industrial or Forklift Batteries
Forklift BatteriesA battery bank that uses one or more industrial batteries follows the opposite philosophy of a golf cart battery bank. Instead of relying on multiple strings of smaller batteries, you use a few or even one battery to store all of your energy.
Because these batteries aren't usually manufactured to standard dimensions, you will have to have one made that is just right for your needs.
Or you can try to find an old industrial or forklift battery that's the correct size for your system and use that.
Like golf cart batteries, there are sometimes ways to get free or cheap forklift batteries.
One way is to call up or visit industrial companies and see if they have old or "dead" forklift batteries. Offer to dispose of it for them or pay them a little bit. If they agree, you can then recondition the battery and use it instead buying a new pricey industrial battery.
But if you choose to get a new custom made battery instead, you should expect to pay quite a bit. But the good news is these types of batteries are typically built to last 15 to 20 years. Lithium-Ion Batteries For Off-Grid Systems | Home Power Magazine
Other thing to consider are:
These bigger batteries will be heavier and more difficult to move around.
There may be advancements in battery technology that could make the battery obsolete in years to come.
But if you don't mind making a significant investment upfront (anywhere from $2,000 to $10,00) and are alright with spending time keeping your batteries in top condition, then industrial batteries might be right for you.
3) L16 Batteries
L16 batteries for SolarIf you want batteries that have a little more capacity than golf cart batteries but don't want to spend on industrial batteries, L16 batteries are a good middle ground.
These flooded lead-acid batteries were originally designed for supermarket floor scrubbers.
The good thing with these batteries is that they last a bit longer than golf cart batteries - about six to eight years. However, they are often twice as heavy and the 6-volt models can be twice as expensive.
ConclusionDifferent homes will have different power requirement and will need battery banks that are sized accordingly.
If you build a battery bank using any of the three batteries mentioned above, you should be able to create a battery bank that is just right for your needs.
And if you're interested in saving money on your battery bank, you can use the EZ Battery Reconditioning program to learn how to:
Get old or "dead" golf cart batteries, L16 batteries, or industrial batteries for free or dirt cheap
Recondition them back to 100% of their working condition
Use those "like-new" batteries instead of buying new overpriced batteries to save a lot of money!
Good luck with your battery bank! And Happy Battery Reconditioning!

The 3 Best Batteries For An Off-Grid Energy System
https://youtu.be/eMpZIeDb1zY

The International Energy Agency projected in 2014 that under its "high renewables" scenario, by 2050, solar photovoltaics and concentrated solar power would contribute about 16 and 11 percent, respectively, of the worldwide electricity consumption, and solar would be the world's largest source of electricity. Most solar installations would be in China and India.

Photovoltaics were initially solely used as a source of electricity for small and medium-sized applications, from the calculator powered by a single solar cell to remote homes powered by an off-grid rooftop PV system. As the cost of solar electricity has fallen, the number of grid-connected solar PV systems has grown into the millions and utility-scale solar power stations with hundreds of megawatts are being built. Solar PV is rapidly becoming an inexpensive, low-carbon technology to harness renewable energy from the Sun.

Solar panel

Solar panel refers to a panel designed to absorb the sun's rays as a source of energy for generating electricity or heating.

A photovoltaic (in short PV) module is a packaged, connected assembly of typically 6×10 solar cells. Solar Photovoltaic panels constitute the solar array of a photovoltaic system that generates and supplies solar electricity in commercial and residential applications. Each module is rated by its DC output power under standard test conditions, and typically ranges from 100 to 365 watts. The efficiency of a module determines the area of a module given the same rated output– an 8% efficient 230 watt module will have twice the area of a 16% efficient 230 watt module. There are a few solar panels available that are exceeding 19% efficiency. A single solar module can produce only a limited amount of power; most installations contain multiple modules. A photovoltaic system typically includes a panel or an array of solar modules, a solar inverter, and sometimes a battery and/or solar tracker and interconnection wiring.

Tesla Powerwall

Specifications

There are two models: 10 kWh weekly cycle version for backup applications (US$3,500) and 7 kWh version for daily cycle applications (US$3,000).

Versions

The Powerwall has two models with 10kWh capacity for backup applications and 7kWh capacity for daily cycle applications. These capacities are sufficient to power most homes during the evening using the electricity generated by solar panels during the day. For the families with larger energy needs, multiple powerwalls can be connected to expand the capacity even higher.

The Powerpack is a much bigger unit with 100kWh of storage for commercial use. In order to meet the variety of energy needs in industry, "Powerpack is infinitely scalable", said Elon Musk. Tesla's objective is to "fundamentally change the way the world uses energy" by "fostering a clean energy ecosystem and helping wean the world off fossil fuels" using backup energy storage for renewable energy.

What Type Of Batteries To Use For Solar

In this video, I explain what type of batteries you should be using for your solar panel system. I will go over 4 different types of batteries: sealed lead acid (car batteries), flooded lead acid, lithium ion, and deep cycle. Each of these can be used in a battery bank but some are not practical as of yet for the average homeowner.
**Please note there are now some lithium charge controllers available on the market but as of this video there were not other than custom programmed, use-at-your-own-risk models**

Properly sizing a battery bank is like black magic. Very few people really understand how to do the math.
So how do I know how many batteries I need? There is a lot that goes into that so this video starts to answer that question with the first step: calculating the total capacity of the battery bank you will need.
In the future, we will get into choosing from different types of batteries to Tesla Powerwalls to how to get the most longevity out of your system. Stay tuned for that!

What Type Of Batteries To Use For Solar

In this video, I explain what type of batteries you should be using for your solar panel system. I will go over 4 different types of batteries: sealed lead acid (car batteries), flooded lead acid, lithium ion, and deep cycle. Each of these can be used in a battery bank but some are not practical as of yet for the average homeowner.
**Please note there are now some lithium charge controllers available on the market but as of this video there were not other than custom programmed, use-at-your-own-risk models**

Best Battery for Solar PV systems

In this video the best battery for Solar PV systems is explored. There are a wide variety of batteries in the market, each suited for a particular application.
For solar PV systems mostly car cranking battery is used which is the worst possible choice for that application. In the developing world truck batteries are used for higher storage capacity which again is a poor option.
Another battery that is making waves is the saltwater battery which is also examined in this video.

How I Size Solar Battery Bank and Solar Panels - How Many Batteries? How Many Solar Panels?

now we know how much load we will have on a typical day being drawn from our solar batteries its time to determine how large of a battery bank we need. the loads are measured in watts while the batteries are measured in amp hours. once you determine if you will go with a 12v or 24v or even a 48v battery bank system its time to figure out how many amps you will need.
match the watts use in a day with the watts in your solar panels however you must consider storms, seasons, bad solar days so having more solar is good.

The Best Battery for Off Grid and Solar Systems - Nickel Iron NiFe Edison Battery - "Tarrin it Up"

The most difficult problem with off-grid living, solar, and wind power systems is the batteries. Traditional lead batteries are cheap but low quality and die quickly in the cold. What if a battery existed that could run for 100 years, run in any kind of weather, and was simple to maintain?
Nickel Iron (NiFe) a.k.a Edison batteries are a forgotten technology that needs to be resurrected. Here I share how they work and how people are now making their own at home. I also share Ernest Hancock's battery program and the exciting future of Nickel Iron batteries.

shows how to hook up solar panels (with a battery bank). simple instructions. home solar power station. very easy to put together. all you need is 1 or more batteries, an inverter, charge controller and a solar panel or panels. the following is for a 12 volt system. use one 'deep cycle' battery for every 2 to 6 amps your panels generate. (batteries like to be charged at this rate). a 12 volt 1 amp panel generates about 15 watts. you can use any solar panels. if you can't get the smaller panels then buy one larger one. (Kyocera sells an inexpensive 7-8 amp solar panel (135 watter)). that would go perfect with 2 deep cycle batteries. the six panels in the video are from harbor freight tools. i bought 2 three panel sets. they sell the panels in sets of three or individually. coleman sells similar panels. the batteries are from walmart. they are 'deep cycle' batteries. the charge controller is from fry's electronics. the inverter is from harbor freight tools. this system will provide all the 'free' power you will need to run tons of things around your house. i've posted 6 videos showing all sorts of things running on this system (computers, tvs, stereos, lights, power tools, appliances, and more). all can be found on my youtube channel homepage. great little system to start with. try 'powering up' one room in your house. you now have a solar assisted house. as one example; this could easily run a light, laptop computer, fan and small tv for several hours every day. also great in an emergency, power outage, remote and rural off-grid living.

The most difficult problem with off-grid living, solar, and wind power systems is the batteries. Traditional lead batteries are cheap but low quality and die quickly in the cold. What if a battery existed that could run for 100 years, run in any kind of weather, and was simple to maintain?
Nickel Iron (NiFe) a.k.a Edison batteries are a forgotten technology that needs to be resurrected. Here I share how they work and how people are now making their own at home. I also share Ernest Hancock's battery program and the exciting future of Nickel Iron batteries.

The 3 Best Batteries For An Off-Grid EnergySystem
So now that we know we want a lead acid battery, that's flooded (FLA), and also has deep cycle properties ...Lithium-Ion Batteries For Off-Grid Systems | Home Power Magazine.
Here are our 3 favorite batteries for an off-grid system's battery bank:
1) GolfCart Batteries
Golf cart batteries are the most widely manufactured batteries on this list.
They also work great in an alternative energy system application. So it's no surprise that they're one of the most commonly used batteries in battery banks for renewable energy systems.
Even though the five to six year life span of golf cart batteries may seem relatively short, golf cart batteries more than make up for their deficiency in this area by being extremely durable and cheap (you can also use these 7 tips to extend the life of golf cart batteries).
In addition, golf cart batteries can also be found almost anywhere, making them a great choice for battery banks.
If you really want to build a high quality but inexpensive battery bank one of the best options is to:
Get old or "dead" batteries from golf courses or golf cart shops for free ...or dirt cheap (just call them and ask if you can have their old batteries probably lying around and cluttering their shop)
Then recondition those batteries to like-new condition with the EZ Battery Reconditioning program
Use those reconditioned batteries in your battery bank
2) Industrial or Forklift Batteries
Forklift BatteriesA battery bank that uses one or more industrial batteries follows the opposite philosophy of a golf cart battery bank. Instead of relying on multiple strings of smaller batteries, you use a few or even one battery to store all of your energy.
Because these batteries aren't usually manufactured to standard dimensions, you will have to have one made that is just right for your needs.
Or you can try to find an old industrial or forklift battery that's the correct size for your system and use that.
Like golf cart batteries, there are sometimes ways to get free or cheap forklift batteries.
One way is to call up or visit industrial companies and see if they have old or "dead" forklift batteries. Offer to dispose of it for them or pay them a little bit. If they agree, you can then recondition the battery and use it instead buying a new pricey industrial battery.
But if you choose to get a new custom made battery instead, you should expect to pay quite a bit. But the good news is these types of batteries are typically built to last 15 to 20 years. Lithium-Ion Batteries For Off-Grid Systems | Home Power Magazine
Other thing to consider are:
These bigger batteries will be heavier and more difficult to move around.
There may be advancements in battery technology that could make the battery obsolete in years to come.
But if you don't mind making a significant investment upfront (anywhere from $2,000 to $10,00) and are alright with spending time keeping your batteries in top condition, then industrial batteries might be right for you.
3) L16 Batteries
L16 batteries for SolarIf you want batteries that have a little more capacity than golf cart batteries but don't want to spend on industrial batteries, L16 batteries are a good middle ground.
These flooded lead-acid batteries were originally designed for supermarket floor scrubbers.
The good thing with these batteries is that they last a bit longer than golf cart batteries - about six to eight years. However, they are often twice as heavy and the 6-volt models can be twice as expensive.
ConclusionDifferent homes will have different power requirement and will need battery banks that are sized accordingly.
If you build a battery bank using any of the three batteries mentioned above, you should be able to create a battery bank that is just right for your needs.
And if you're interested in saving money on your battery bank, you can use the EZ Battery Reconditioning program to learn how to:
Get old or "dead" golf cart batteries, L16 batteries, or industrial batteries for free or dirt cheap
Recondition them back to 100% of their working condition
Use those "like-new" batteries instead of buying new overpriced batteries to save a lot of money!
Good luck with your battery bank! And Happy Battery Reconditioning!

The 3 Best Batteries For An Off-Grid Energy System

The 3 Best Batteries For An Off-Grid EnergySystem
So now that we know we want a lead acid battery, that's flooded (FLA), and also has deep cycle properties ...Lithium-Ion Batteries For Off-Grid Systems | Home Power Magazine.
Here are our 3 favorite batteries for an off-grid system's battery bank:
1) GolfCart Batteries
Golf cart batteries are the most widely manufactured batteries on this list.
They also work great in an alternative energy system application. So it's no surprise that they're one of the most commonly used batteries in battery banks for renewable energy systems.
Even though the five to six year life span of golf cart batteries may seem relatively short, golf cart batteries more than make up for their deficiency in this area by being extremely durable and cheap (you can also use these 7 tips to extend the life of golf cart batteries).
In addition, golf cart batteries can also be found almost anywhere, making them a great choice for battery banks.
If you really want to build a high quality but inexpensive battery bank one of the best options is to:
Get old or "dead" batteries from golf courses or golf cart shops for free ...or dirt cheap (just call them and ask if you can have their old batteries probably lying around and cluttering their shop)
Then recondition those batteries to like-new condition with the EZ Battery Reconditioning program
Use those reconditioned batteries in your battery bank
2) Industrial or Forklift Batteries
Forklift BatteriesA battery bank that uses one or more industrial batteries follows the opposite philosophy of a golf cart battery bank. Instead of relying on multiple strings of smaller batteries, you use a few or even one battery to store all of your energy.
Because these batteries aren't usually manufactured to standard dimensions, you will have to have one made that is just right for your needs.
Or you can try to find an old industrial or forklift battery that's the correct size for your system and use that.

How I Size Solar Battery Bank and Solar Panels - How Many Batteries? How Many Solar Panels?

now we know how much load we will have on a typical day being drawn from our solar batteries its time to determine how large of a battery bank we need. the loads are measured in watts while the batteries are measured in amp hours. once you determine if you will go with a 12v or 24v or even a 48v battery bank system its time to figure out how many amps you will need.
match the watts use in a day with the watts in your solar panels however you must consider storms, seasons, bad solar days so having more solar is good.

Its All About The Batteries Forklift Battery For Home Solar Power

I had a sunny day so I got to really test out my old forklift batteries on my tiny house solar power. I also had a special delivery today which I will tell cover in detail later.
Since it was a bright, sunny winter day I was able to put the old forklift battery bank into manual equalize mode. My TristarMPPT solar charge controller allows me to manually start an equalization. This means that the solar charge controller hits the battery bank with over 15 volts for a certain amount of time. This boils the acid in the battery cells and mixes the electrolyte up better. With time the heavier acid settles down and the lighter water rises. This creates an unbalanced chemistry in the battery and causes uneven distribution of power in the battery cell.
Boiling the fluid in the battery with a high...

USB Powered Battery Charger Solar compatibility Tests. Which is Best!

USB Powered BatteryChargerSolar Compatibility Tests. Which is Best! The goal is 1A at 5V using a 14 watt panel as this is the largest (for me) which can be packed within a BOB or hiking pack We are looking for speed but most importantly reliability. How compatible are they for solar charging batteries?. I test the following Xtar MC1 Plus/Ant Plus/VC2 Plus, Nitecore F1/F2/UM10, Goal ZeroGuide 10 Plus, Klarus K2, Olight UC and PIXO C2. Keep in mind solar charging conditions and panel vary. Much of this is based on my field observations and shouldn't be taken for scientific methodology. My concerns are speed and reliability not what is the best rate of charge or other features the chargers may have.

EVTV - March 17, 2017. Hacking The Ultimate Tesla Home Solar Battery

Demonstrate total control of a Tesla Model S 85kWh battery pack with no modifications and indeed not even opening the battery pack. We access the BMS directly by CAN, manipulate internal contactors, and connect the pack to a charger and a UQM Powerphase 100DriveTrain.
But wait there's more. We ALSO have cracked the individual Module BMS boards and can create home solar batteries of 1 to 62 modules with total control of ALL individual cell voltages, temperature sensors, and balancing circuits.

I had a sunny day so I got to really test out my old forklift batteries on my tiny house solar power. I also had a special delivery today which I will tell cover in detail later.
Since it was a bright, sunny winter day I was able to put the old forklift battery bank into manual equalize mode. My TristarMPPT solar charge controller allows me to manually start an equalization. This means that the solar charge controller hits the battery bank with over 15 volts for a certain amount of time. This boils the acid in the battery cells and mixes the electrolyte up better. With time the heavier acid settles down and the lighter water rises. This creates an unbalanced chemistry in the battery and causes uneven distribution of power in the battery cell.
Boiling the fluid in the battery with a higher voltage mixes the fluids better and also breaks up the lead sulfate on the battery plates. This brings the battery up closer to its full power capacity.
While at Tractor Supply the other day I found a manual/automatic battery charger on sale. It was on clearance because it was stocked as a Christmas gift item. After the holidays they need to clear out old stock to prepare for new spring items. So I got an awesome deal on this charger.
The battery charger has a 10 amp setting and can be set to manual mode which allows me to put 10 amps at 14.8 volts into my forklift batteries as long as I want. This allows me to run devices inside my tiny house on wheels when the sun is down even though the batteries are not running at full capacity.
These old forklift batteries are badly sulfated. They were abused and I expect it will take a long time before they are performing well in my off grid solar application. But they are only temporary anyway until the reconditioned forklift battery arrives.
Which, by the way, happened on this day. In the afternoon hours a van pulled in carrying my new/reconditioned forklift battery. This is a 3 year old 12 volt battery bank rated at 750 AH. And it comes with a one year warranty.
This forklift battery will become the main power source for my tiny house when the sun is not generating power through the solar panels.
I expect the new forklift battery to last me at least 20 years in my solar powered home.
I used my harbor freight engine hoist to get the battery raised off the bed of the van while they drove it out from under the battery. Then I lowered it onto the ground for now.
I have to fix my truck brakes before I can get the battery over to the tiny house.
I plan to put the battery into the bed of the truck and then drive the truck over to the back side of the tiny house. Then lift the battery out with the HF engine hoist and lower it to the ground. Then I have to manipulate it into place on the pallet next to the other batteries.

How compatible are they for solar charging batteries?. I test the following Xtar MC1 Plus/Ant Plus/VC2 Plus, Nitecore F1/F2/UM10, Goal ZeroGuide 10 Plus, Klarus K2, Olight UC and PIXO C2. Keep in mind solar charging conditions and panel vary. Much of this is based on my field observations and shouldn't be taken for scientific methodology. My concerns are speed and reliability not what is the best rate of charge or other features the chargers may have.

How to Install a Solar Panel with Solar Controller, Battery and Inverter in hindi

What Type Of Batteries To Use For Solar

In this video, I explain what type of batteries you should be using for your solar panel system. I will go over 4 different types of batteries: sealed lead acid (car batteries), flooded lead acid, lithium ion, and deep cycle. Each of these can be used in a battery bank but some are not practical as of yet for the average homeowner.
**Please note there are now some lithium charge controllers available on the market but as of this video there were not other than custom programmed, use-at-your-own-risk models**

Battery - Solar Battery Options

This video will review some of the best practices for battery selection. www.SolarPenny.com Visit us online at www.SolarPenny.com - Video is for basic product information only.
Note: This video is not intended to speak negatively / discourage the use of Interstate Batteries. It is a best practice video for a successful system. As we suggest to out of state customers is the best battery you can get "locally" in your area is the Interstate 6 Volt GolfCart Batteries which are easy to obtain at any InterstateBatteryDealer in your area, or if you are a member of "Costco" stores they have a complete selection of Interstate Batteries at the best pricing. I personally have Interstate Batteries in my car and truck but not in my Solar System, they are a great brand but their 12 volt line of "car, marine, rv and boat deep cycle batteries" will hinder your solar storage abilities.

Edison nickel cadmium solar power batteries.The cheapest solar batteries you can buy and will live for 50 years or more.
There is more on this post on steemit please click this link blow to read the full.
Look at my Steemit account https://steemit.com/@phillip20

shows how to hook up solar panels (with a battery bank). simple instructions. home solar power station. very easy to put together. all you need is 1 or more batteries, an inverter, charge controller and a solar panel or panels. the following is for a 12 volt system. use one 'deep cycle' battery for every 2 to 6 amps your panels generate. (batteries like to be charged at this rate). a 12 volt 1 amp panel generates about 15 watts. you can use any solar panels. if you can't get the smaller panels then buy one larger one. (Kyocera sells an inexpensive 7-8 amp solar panel (135 watter)). that would go perfect with 2 deep cycle batteries. the six panels in the video are from harbor freight tools. i bought 2 three panel sets. they sell the panels in sets of three or individually. coleman sells similar panels. the batteries are from walmart. they are 'deep cycle' batteries. the charge controller is from fry's electronics. the inverter is from harbor freight tools. this system will provide all the 'free' power you will need to run tons of things around your house. i've posted 6 videos showing all sorts of things running on this system (computers, tvs, stereos, lights, power tools, appliances, and more). all can be found on my youtube channel homepage. great little system to start with. try 'powering up' one room in your house. you now have a solar assisted house. as one example; this could easily run a light, laptop computer, fan and small tv for several hours every day. also great in an emergency, power outage, remote and rural off-grid living.

Choosing batteries for solar power offgrid or a battery backup system.

Best Battery for Solar PV systems

In this video the best battery for Solar PV systems is explored. There are a wide variety of batteries in the market, each suited for a particular application.
For solar PV systems mostly car cranking battery is used which is the worst possible choice for that application. In the developing world truck batteries are used for higher storage capacity which again is a poor option.
Another battery that is making waves is the saltwater battery which is also examined in this video.

How I Size Solar Battery Bank and Solar Panels - How Many Batteries? How Many Solar Panels?

now we know how much load we will have on a typical day being drawn from our solar batteries its time to determine how large of a battery bank we need. the loads are measured in watts while the batteries are measured in amp hours. once you determine if you will go with a 12v or 24v or even a 48v battery bank system its time to figure out how many amps you will need.
match the watts use in a day with the watts in your solar panels however you must consider storms, seasons, bad solar days so having more solar is good.

The Best Battery for Off Grid and Solar Systems - Nickel Iron NiFe Edison Battery - "Tarrin it Up"

The most difficult problem with off-grid living, solar, and wind power systems is the batteries. Traditional lead batteries are cheap but low quality and die quickly in the cold. What if a battery existed that could run for 100 years, run in any kind of weather, and was simple to maintain?
Nickel Iron (NiFe) a.k.a Edison batteries are a forgotten technology that needs to be resurrected. Here I share how they work and how people are now making their own at home. I also share Ernest Hancock's battery program and the exciting future of Nickel Iron batteries.

The 3 Best Batteries For An Off-Grid Energy System | Off Grid Power System for Homes and Businesses

http://viralwebsite.net/battery
The 3 Best Batteries For An Off-Grid EnergySystem
So now that we know we want a lead acid battery, that's flooded (FLA), and also has deep cycle properties ...Lithium-Ion Batteries For Off-Grid Systems | Home Power Magazine.
Here are our 3 favorite batteries for an off-grid system's battery bank:
1) GolfCart Batteries
Golf cart batteries are the most widely manufactured batteries on this list.
They also work great in an alternative energy system application. So it's no surprise that they're one of the most commonly used batteries in battery banks for renewable energy systems.
Even though the five to six year life span of golf cart batteries may seem relatively short, golf cart batteries more than make up for their deficiency in this area by being extremely durable and cheap (you can also use these 7 tips to extend the life of golf cart batteries).
In addition, golf cart batteries can also be found almost anywhere, making them a great choice for battery banks.
If you really want to build a high quality but inexpensive battery bank one of the best options is to:
Get old or "dead" batteries from golf courses or golf cart shops for free ...or dirt cheap (just call them and ask if you can have their old batteries probably lying around and cluttering their shop)
Then recondition those batteries to like-new condition with the EZ Battery Reconditioning program
Use those reconditioned batteries in your battery bank
2) Industrial or Forklift Batteries
Forklift BatteriesA battery bank that uses one or more industrial batteries follows the opposite philosophy of a golf cart battery bank. Instead of relying on multiple strings of smaller batteries, you use a few or even one battery to store all of your energy.
Because these batteries aren't usually manufactured to standard dimensions, you will have to have one made that is just right for your needs.
Or you can try to find an old industrial or forklift battery that's the correct size for your system and use that.
Like golf cart batteries, there are sometimes ways to get free or cheap forklift batteries.
One way is to call up or visit industrial companies and see if they have old or "dead" forklift batteries. Offer to dispose of it for them or pay them a little bit. If they agree, you can then recondition the battery and use it instead buying a new pricey industrial battery.
But if you choose to get a new custom made battery instead, you should expect to pay quite a bit. But the good news is these types of batteries are typically built to last 15 to 20 years. Lithium-Ion Batteries For Off-Grid Systems | Home Power Magazine
Other thing to consider are:
These bigger batteries will be heavier and more difficult to move around.
There may be advancements in battery technology that could make the battery obsolete in years to come.
But if you don't mind making a significant investment upfront (anywhere from $2,000 to $10,00) and are alright with spending time keeping your batteries in top condition, then industrial batteries might be right for you.
3) L16 Batteries
L16 batteries for SolarIf you want batteries that have a little more capacity than golf cart batteries but don't want to spend on industrial batteries, L16 batteries are a good middle ground.
These flooded lead-acid batteries were originally designed for supermarket floor scrubbers.
The good thing with these batteries is that they last a bit longer than golf cart batteries - about six to eight years. However, they are often twice as heavy and the 6-volt models can be twice as expensive.
ConclusionDifferent homes will have different power requirement and will need battery banks that are sized accordingly.
If you build a battery bank using any of the three batteries mentioned above, you should be able to create a battery bank that is just right for your needs.
And if you're interested in saving money on your battery bank, you can use the EZ Battery Reconditioning program to learn how to:
Get old or "dead" golf cart batteries, L16 batteries, or industrial batteries for free or dirt cheap
Recondition them back to 100% of their working condition
Use those "like-new" batteries instead of buying new overpriced batteries to save a lot of money!
Good luck with your battery bank! And Happy Battery Reconditioning!

Its All About The Batteries Forklift Battery For Home Solar Power

I had a sunny day so I got to really test out my old forklift batteries on my tiny house solar power. I also had a special delivery today which I will tell cover in detail later.
Since it was a bright, sunny winter day I was able to put the old forklift battery bank into manual equalize mode. My TristarMPPT solar charge controller allows me to manually start an equalization. This means that the solar charge controller hits the battery bank with over 15 volts for a certain amount of time. This boils the acid in the battery cells and mixes the electrolyte up better. With time the heavier acid settles down and the lighter water rises. This creates an unbalanced chemistry in the battery and causes uneven distribution of power in the battery cell.
Boiling the fluid in the battery with a higher voltage mixes the fluids better and also breaks up the lead sulfate on the battery plates. This brings the battery up closer to its full power capacity.
While at Tractor Supply the other day I found a manual/automatic battery charger on sale. It was on clearance because it was stocked as a Christmas gift item. After the holidays they need to clear out old stock to prepare for new spring items. So I got an awesome deal on this charger.
The battery charger has a 10 amp setting and can be set to manual mode which allows me to put 10 amps at 14.8 volts into my forklift batteries as long as I want. This allows me to run devices inside my tiny house on wheels when the sun is down even though the batteries are not running at full capacity.
These old forklift batteries are badly sulfated. They were abused and I expect it will take a long time before they are performing well in my off grid solar application. But they are only temporary anyway until the reconditioned forklift battery arrives.
Which, by the way, happened on this day. In the afternoon hours a van pulled in carrying my new/reconditioned forklift battery. This is a 3 year old 12 volt battery bank rated at 750 AH. And it comes with a one year warranty.
This forklift battery will become the main power source for my tiny house when the sun is not generating power through the solar panels.
I expect the new forklift battery to last me at least 20 years in my solar powered home.
I used my harbor freight engine hoist to get the battery raised off the bed of the van while they drove it out from under the battery. Then I lowered it onto the ground for now.
I have to fix my truck brakes before I can get the battery over to the tiny house.
I plan to put the battery into the bed of the truck and then drive the truck over to the back side of the tiny house. Then lift the battery out with the HF engine hoist and lower it to the ground. Then I have to manipulate it into place on the pallet next to the other batteries.

Battery Powered Homes

There's a power revolution heading for our homes – a device that allows you to take power into your own hands. Its batteries, home batteries, and they've been called the holy grail of renewables – the key to the transition away from fossil fuels.

Solar Generator - Battery Bank & Solar Panel Expansion

This is part of my video series on how to build a large solar generator. In this step we will show you hot to expand the solar charge capacity up to 4 100w solar panels, using the solar generators integrated MC4 connectors. We will also be expanding the battery bank using our high current connectors to connect multiple batteries in parallel to our diy solar generator. We will be using the SLR-125 AGM battery for our expansion units.

EVTV - March 17, 2017. Hacking The Ultimate Tesla Home Solar Battery

Demonstrate total control of a Tesla Model S 85kWh battery pack with no modifications and indeed not even opening the battery pack. We access the BMS directly by CAN, manipulate internal contactors, and connect the pack to a charger and a UQM Powerphase 100DriveTrain.
But wait there's more. We ALSO have cracked the individual Module BMS boards and can create home solar batteries of 1 to 62 modules with total control of ALL individual cell voltages, temperature sensors, and balancing circuits.
